Id love to come if that’s ok?
I’ve just moved to Bristol, so would be good to meet some like minded petrol maniacs
I think we qualify. With your PH username can we assume you've built an Ultima of the wind in your hair variety?

Urm well actually I went to see Ted at the factory last weekend, and on reflection maybe the CanAm name thingy might be a bad idea as the GTR is more suited to racing as the FIA cage will fit without being too obvious.
So my order is going in around August time
For the moment I have to make do with a pug
Excellent.
You'll of course realise we have a bloody good Ultima forum on PH. Regular posters include "Stig" (forum moderator) who did a very good detailed report on the build of his first Ultima, Gman who has the fastest Ultima in the world! Oh and Bluesatin who built his car with a traction system which lets you set how many degrees of powerslide you want before it kicks in.

I have had a good look through both sites that Chris has written for the GTR and the new Can Am Very comprehensive it has to be said.
Although I think he must have a love for his garage, cos to hold down a full time job, build an Ultima and write a website detailing the whole thing is rather difficult

Has our decisions guru decided where we are going
again. Adrian - as you know where it is can you book it please.

whether the venue warrants a hoon prior to arrival?
again! Meet at the park and ride entrance on the A370/Long Ashton bypass?
What would the route most likely be?
mental note - must take bike rack off back of car - air brake will slow down car - need every ounce of oomph
Edited to add: Could bring along bike on car to show off said bike, speed and stability seemed not to be a problem when hitting the hump back bridge out past Wedmore at nigh on 80 mph...
Edited to add again for clarity: Did not hit hump back bridge on said bike at 80 Mph. That would be silly.

I guess if we're mostly driving then a pub stop is unnecessary, so the route could be a little more involved leading straight to a curry at, say, 9pm?
There must be something wrong, it's more than a week to go, we have a time, a venue and a plan... I'm off to the bookies to put money on it raining (or worse) next Thursday
